THE DOMINION.
ManItobans Ready to Resist Fresh
Opposition to Their Road.

WINNIPEG. Man, Sept. 12.-The greatest
excitement prevails in the city and through
out the Province today because of the ac-
tion of the Dominion government declaring
open war upon the construction of the Red
River Valley Railway by filing two bills of
complaint asking an injunction to prevent
the contractors and the government from
building road across twelve lots belonging
to the Grown Lands Department. Minister
OF Justice Thompson of the Dominion is the
informant and signs the bills of complaint
which, although prepared for some time,
were only sprung upon the people today.
The Dominion government has been behind
the Browning and all other injunctions so
far filed, hoping it would not be necessary to
show the cloven foot. and ii was only when
the chief justice in the present injunction
case before the court expressed in no uncer-
tain way that Browning was the puppet of
the Canadian Pacific Railway and entitled
to no relief from the court, that the Domin-
ion government issued instructions to have
the bills filed. The action has occasioned in
tense excitement, and the citizens now be-
lieve that the Dominion government Is de-
termined to prevent the construction of the
road If it has to appeal to arms. This has
only made the people here more determined,
and many are seriously contemplating a
fight with arms. There is no longer sny
doubt here that Sir John did threaten to
send in British regulars. The people have
resolved to build the road or bust the coun-
try. The Dominion INDUCTION will doubtless
be secured. In that event an appeal to
arms or a back down on either side must
follow. 1t is very probable that a deputa-
tion will be sent to England praying for. a
separation from the confederation. The
government has secured sufficient financial
aid to meet all the liabilities to the middle Of
October, when the next installment on the
contract falls due. One hundred thousand

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept 12.--Reports from
all points along the coast continue to be re-
ceived of disasters by the hurricane which
swept the Grand Banks on the Sd inst. The
Charles III. Hodgsdon Of Provincetown, ar
rived at Liverpool, N. s., today with the
dead body Of her commander, Capt. Camp
bell, on board, he having succumbed to inju-
ries and exposure during the gale. The
schooner Geraldine, at Canso, reports the
loss of one of her crew named Nicholson
Ash. Her decks were swept of everything
movable, and her hawse-pipe torn out. the
windlass ripped up, jib carried away, water
casks and barrels of bait swept overheard,
and the vessel generally demoralized. Capt.
Jameson reports the following thrilling ex-
perience: AT p. m. we saw large
schooner adrift and rushing with fearful
speed right down upon us. No attempt
was being made on board the rapidly
approaching schooner to pass clear of us.
They blew fog horns and fired guns to warn
us of the doom of both vessels, if collision
was not avoided. There is no help for it

LEES MoNuM EMIT.
Trouble In Richmond over the Lay
ing of the Corner Stone.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 12.-The citizens of
Richmond are indignant over the refusal Of
the Common Council to appropriate $4,000
toward defraying the expenses Of laying the
Lee monument corner stone. This refusal is
made the more bitter to them by reason of
the fact that the city of Richmond did ap-
propriate $1,000 for the relief of the suffer-
ers In the great Chicago fire. At the last
municipal election the majority of the coun-
cilmen elected were members of what was
then called the reform party, which was
made up Of Knights of Labor and kicking
Democrats and Republicans who were dis
satisfied with the administration of the city
government. One Of their reasons for vot-
ing against the appropriation was that the
city charter did not authorize it. Other and
novel reasons were used by sundry members
such as that they had not yet received cards
of invitation to the corner stone laying; that
some of them would not be made aides In the
procession; that the pageant was simply got
ten up to benefit the upper classes; that the
proposed monument was to be put outside
the corporation limits; that If Lee were
alive he would dislike any such pageant, and
that the city could not afford the outlay A
subscription has been started to raise the
needed amount, and so far about 500 has
been subscribed. What has increased the
PEOPLES indignation has been the prompt Of
fer from several small towns to donate not
only site for the monument, but the entire
sum that the city council has refused to give,
the conditions of such offers being that the
monument shall be placed in either one of
such small towns.

Defended by a Mexican.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Dr. NJ. NJ. De
Meza of the city of Mexico, one of the visit
ing physicians at the Medical Congress here,
publishes a letter defending the unfortunate
Macmillan of Mexico from the charges of
cowardice and treason thrown upon his men,
ory by the Escobedo faction In that country,
with view of influencing the coming elec-
tions against President Diaz. who is under:
stood to hold different views. DIR. De Meza
says, referring to the fact that Escobedo has
waited twenty years to publish this report:
military custom dictates that every CON-
mander shall promptly furnish his govern
ment with report of the work done by his
troops, and it is difficult to understand why
Gen. Escobedo should not have observed this
custom. If Gems. Mejia and Miramon were
traitors and punished accordingly. how comes
it that Col. Lopez, the confidential friend and
| adviser of his ilustrious victim, escaped their
fateP" In raising the issue he has set up at
| this time Escobedo has assumed that
| the evidence to controvert his assertions was
not in existence. He will be disagrecably
| astonished. Facts and official documents
| and authentic correspondence are said to be
| forthcoming which will not only remove Es-
| cobedo's aspersions upon the personal honor
| of the dead Austrian Prince, but will place
| Escobedo's honesty in a most unenviabe
| light before the world and cast an unremoy-
| able stain upon Marshal Bazaine and the
French on account of Maximilian's death.

had done all In his power TO bias the case s..
His assertions were right In the teeth Of the
facts. From the fact that the government
failed 70 bring reporter. as was their duty,
convenient to all, Mr.. Gladstone could only
suppose two explanations: First, an inten-
ti0n to promote disorder [Parnellite cheers
which he did not entertain; second, that the
authorities exhibited degree Of stupidity
and negligence rarely seen. The RESPONSE
bility rested with those who committed the
first error. IL was a gross and dan
gerous error for a body Of police to
force their way through a dense crowd.
There was no proof Of any attempt to storm
the barracks. The victims were two old
men and a boy.
Mr.. Gladstone hoped to hear before the de-
bate closed that this sad and grievOus affair,
which had created a sentiment Of horror and
disgust throughout the kingdom, had not
been kept in the dark, but probed to the
either frmness or conclliati0n on the part Of
the government, but feared that all occur
ring In Ireland would support the contention
OF the opposition that the governments leg
islation was directed, not against crime, but
against combination for liberty Of speech
and public meeting. He was convinced that
the people Of England would not follow the
governments course. which led TO nothing
but distress and disaster. lCheers.l
Mr.. Parnell moved to adjourn the debate.
The Attorney General reproached Glad
stone, who, while protesting to reserve his
judgment, had concluded that the police were
murderers.
DiIion's Account.
Mr.. Dillon, who had just arrived from Dub
lin. gave his account of the trouble at Mitch
ellstown. He blamed the government for
departing from the usual custom Of asking
accommodation for reporter, and said the
first threat Of disturbance was quelled by
two gentlemen on the platform driving their
own men back, by striking them with UNI
brellas, but the police were reinforced and
made their way by bringing their batOns to
bear ON the horses, and also using the muz-
zles OF their rifles. Dillon, in concluding,
said that the shots were fired In revenge for
blows.
Meetings would continue in spite Of the
government proclamation, but no should al
ways advise the people TO abstain fran yio-
lence.

The Dominion Trying to Agree With
the Home Government.

OTTAWA, Sept. 12.-Sir Charles Tupper,
Canada's high commissioner at London,
has been instructed to proceed at once
to Birmingham to consult Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain on the fisheries question. The
exact nature Of the conference is not known,
but it has been deemed advisable that a line
of policy should be settled upon before the
proposed commission meets. From what can
be gathered the Dominion government are
demanding more than the British govern
ment are willing to aecede to, and with a
view to arriving at some understanding. Sir
Charles, as representative of the Dominion,
as commissioner as well, holding the dual
position of finance minister in the Dominion
cabinet, has been entrusted with the import
ant and confidential mission.
